About

Studio C opened in 2013 as a textile workspace producing theatrical costumes and special occasion wear. After careful consideration, the space was redesigned to be more accommodating for bridal customs, while retaining its theatrical roots.

The desire took over to strip back the mystery, and show brides-to-be through the entire, beautiful process of making their gown for the most special day in their lives. Studio C Bridal’s open plan style showcases both design and consultation areas, and cutting and sewing facilities in their best light.

Bridal gowns and accessories are all made to order, creating a unique look from exquisite fabrics. Sample works can be viewed, by appointment only. All work is completed in house from the finest fabrics sourced locally and globally.

The focus is to produce the finest designs and new gowns, restoring heirloom gowns into a new look for your wedding day is also an available option. The finest care will be taken in treating the gown with the respect it deserves, and in rejuvenating it to be perfect again.

Her theatre credentials include Opera Australia, Bell Shakespeare Company, Griffin Theatre, State Theatre Company of South Australia, and Global Creations.

Caitlyn possesses an eye for fine detail, and the ability to see the beauty in every idea.

Caitlyn created Studio C Bridal with a passion to create beautiful, original, one off pieces. Custom designing and making wedding dresses is our main aim, though alterations can be made to an existing dress if you have already found The One. Bridal gowns and accessories are all made to order, creating a unique look from exquisite fabrics. Consultations are by appointment only. All work is completed in house from the finest fabrics sourced locally and globally.

While the focus is to produce the finest designs and new gowns, restoring heirloom gowns into a new look for your wedding day is also possible. These gowns are treated with the respect they deserve, and the finest care will be taken to give them a new life. Caitlyn has experience in performing alterations to original dresses from the 1910s, through to alterations of French designer gowns from the 1940s and 50s. As construction methods evolved across the years, an open mind is kept while working to revitalise these garments for their reincarnation.
